We spent all day making food--cooked carrot salad (very yummy - recipe coming in Saturday's Skinny post), broccoli salad, carrot cake, pineapple pudding cake (the nickname for it is "better-than-sex cake" - hee hee), and six batches of vanilla ice cream for the 3 ice cream freezers. We brought two and LaVerne has one. I won't be counting calories on Saturday!
While we were making food, Mark did some fix-ups for LaVerne. He replaced the ventilation fans in both bathrooms, installed two light fixtures, added more memory to her computer, and deleted some files from her computer that were making in run really slowly.
The weather has been hot, so we are moving the party on Saturday to 11:00 am. Hopefully we won't end up with the 80-somethings in the emergency room with heat stroke. We'll be at a lovely park right close to LaVern's mobile home park, lots of oak trees to shade the area she has reserved, and good play equipment for the kids.
Family who will be here: Michel & Julie Haynie and their son David, Greg & Cheryl Haynie, Angela & Tim and kids, Josh & Hillary and Ethan. Greg and Cheryl should be arriving any minute; they left Portland early this morning and have been driving all day (Thursday). Everyone else is coming tomorrow (Friday).
Bill, LaVerne's next-door neighbor and special friend, took us to lunch in Morro Bay today. A cool reprieve from the heat here, and some yummy fish and chips. Here are a couple of photos. Love you!
